First Colombian Mini-DebConf Report

As announced on [1], we had the first Colombian Mini-DebConf[2] atAugust 19th and 20th 2.006.

14 Debian enthusiasts from all over the country joined the event, and weeven got the help from Luciano Bello from Argentina, who was invited tothe related event "Jornadas de Software Libre" [3] that was held inparallel.

Colombian Debian community is just starting to get into the work and wecouldn't manage to do any BSP, but we did an on-hands workshop ongeneral Debian tasks and package maintainance. At the end, we also had aKSP, organized by Santiago Ruano Rincon[4]. At least 4 of the 14assistants have continued the work that was started that day.

Santiago was the only DD present, and only Luciano and I have had anyprevious and continued experience at the NMP, so the three of us madethe talking and helped the assistants on their work.
